This image displays an interior scene within an airport terminal in Chicago, United States. The environment is a modern waiting area, likely a gate lounge, characterized by a dark gray floor and high, multi-panel angled ceilings with exposed structural elements and linear artificial lighting fixtures. A large, cylindrical white column on the right side of the frame is illuminated by blue accent lighting, which also casts blue hues on parts of the ceiling. Approximately 15-20 individuals are present, most of whom are seated on black, metal-frame airport-style bench seating or at high-top tables with stools in the background. The primary activity observed is individuals using personal electronic devices, predominantly smartphones. In the foreground, a man wearing a dark hoodie, dark pants, a beige baseball cap, and white sneakers is seated on a bench, looking down at a smartphone in his hands. A black backpack rests on the seat beside him. To his immediate left, a woman in a purple top and dark pants is also seated, focused on a smartphone, with a green bag on the adjacent seat. In the left foreground, a light gray and blue self-service or information kiosk features a large black monitor on an adjustable arm. A white sign affixed to the kiosk displays the text "Need travel assistance?" along with a QR code. Below this, a red graphic (possibly an emergency symbol or logo) is visible on a gray panel of the kiosk. A yellow strip runs along the dark gray floor near the kiosk. A small, white dome-style security camera is mounted high on a wall section in the background.
